The Peerless Kobold (WN)

"Obsidian fools! What the hell are you thinking!!

"" Hih!?

Chancellor Theodore, standing beside the throne in the absence of the Queen, yells after receiving a report from his subordinates, and the maids who had refrained from doing so scream little by little.

Ever since the recent assassination of the reformist moderate Priest Marcus, the elves of Obsidian are holding protest rallies in various parts of the Wang capital, and their size is also on the increase.

As part of the protest, the people of Obsidian coming to the Royal Castle with freedom and equality were mixed with reformist extremists, who worked the coyote of harming and rambling the guards who tried to hold the crowd back.

If that's all, still, this report says that some people attacked stores in white magnetic compartments or caused harm to white magnetic people on the streets.

"I don't even engage in farming and pastoralism, neglect my daily life and make foolish noises, etc! Why work lawlessly with freedom and equality in your mouth!!

"... Father, the people are just fanned and noisy, and it's all the work of some malicious extremists. If you lose sight of it, you're wrong, aren't you?

It is Eliza, the daughter of the angry Chancellor, who embarrasses her father with a grieving face. She is a relatively young hundred and ten year old elf and a beautiful daughter with deep emerald eyes in silver blonde curly hair.

"I'm sorry, Eliza, I've exposed you... you've surprised me too"

"No, never mind, Dear Theodore"

The ladies who refrain beside him bow their heads quietly.

"But I forgive those obsidian people who are easily fanned by such people."

"It would be unusual if all the people were good, because there are only a few of them, and the rest are normal and below, so I can't help it."

Theodore nods at the story of his floating daughter.

"Well, it's nothing more than a government reflecting the voices of the people… so our white magnetic family must guide us."

"That way of thinking buys the obsidian elves objection, Father. In the first place, politics is based on the agreement of many people, so we can't make them disappointed."

One breath, he asks his daughter.

"So what do you want me to do?

"Not just the Obsidian clan, but I guess it's about time to cultivate knowledge and good sense... rapid change creates a backlash"

Eliza's answer belongs to a typical conservative moderate and is also in a different direction than her father's idea of being a conservative extremist.

"But... the reformist extremists don't want that. We'll have to do something about those fools."

"Yeah, you're right."

Theodore is a typical conservative extremist, with the slightly problematic idea that a superior species of white magnetic elf is responsible for leading other families, etc., but not foolish.

At the time of the earlier Central Assembly raids, he was aware as soon as possible of the danger of reformed extremists who were free to invoke equality while waging violence and taking victims.

Therefore, knowing that he would be tried for breaking the law, he was acting to assault and capture the reformist extremists and Gregor who would sum them up.

Former Chancellor Delphis told me to stop...

"By the way, Eliza, how's the world tree?

Just when Queen Aristia disappeared and Chancellor Delphis was killed by someone, a situation arose in which the vitality of the world tree would be significantly reduced.

At that time, there was confusion that the sewers maintained by the magic device of a bronze elf that converted the life force of the world tree into magic had stopped or that the magic of life had become unusable, and a hasty investigation was carried out.

"Listy, report..."

From behind Elsa, a world tree witch advances who will be in a position to assist the queen.

"... the other day the discomfort of the world tree, perhaps something related to the life and death of Master Aristia, presumably the late consumed immense vitality from the world tree to keep Her Majesty alive"

"Then again, Her Majesty the Queen..."

"Yes, I will live"

Listy assured me that she was eating Theodore's words.

"Mmmm..."

For the time being, Theodore conceives with a difficult face.

Aristia, the queen who pushes for reform, is inconvenient to him, but one who takes over the blood of the most high elves in the present situation. Theodore's emphasis on white magnetism cannot belittle the Queen's existence.

"Okay, let's get a search party out around the northern forest where Her Majesty has hidden"

"I think that's okay, that's your father."

The conservative moderates have already searched, and they should ask the cautious samurai knights, but Eliza nods at her parents and children by indicating her agreement with her father just because she thinks it's better to have more manpower.

"… there is still a follow-up to the report"

"Oh, go on"

"We prioritized the maintenance of urban functions in order to clean up excessive disruptions, and we have had the vitality of the world trees in other cities divided via geographic veins, thus creating a sway in the stray junctions around each city"

The situation was predicted from the outset... but in the current situation where the Wang Du is holding a spark, if we force further chaos on the people, it could erupt in various ways. For this reason, priority was given to maintaining urban functions.

"How long will you be back in the original state of the world tree?

"A month early, six months at the latest..."

"In the meantime, I hope there's nothing."

"You only have enough to keep your guard tight..."

As Eliza sighed with a curly hair of silver blonde, a samurai with her enters the room during the glance and punches her in the ear somehow.

"I'm sorry, Father, but you have a visitor. Excuse me."

That's all I'm saying, she quits the place.

Anyway, Eliza has a lot to do...

When she returned to her private room, there stood two elf men with blue and light black skin.

"You've come well, Lord Siebel."

"No, it's the same thing we're worried about right now."

That was responded to by a man named Siebel, a reformist moderate, who focuses on the elves of Obsidian. He is also one of those who will inherit the will of Priest Marcus, who complained of non-violent disobedience.

"And thank you, Lord Shead."

"Well, that's about as neutral as it sounds."

This is the head of the Craft Guild, which brings together the bronze elves of the King's Capital.

Using his position, which allowed him to enter and leave the royal castle, he misled Siebel into a carriage loaded with deliveries and asked him to bring him into secrecy.

"Quick, but the fact that you're here... you can help us."

"Yeah, we alone can't stop extremist rogues fanning everyone"

Originally, the conservative moderates to whom Eliza belonged only feared that rapid reforms would cause confusion, and they had not denied all of the reforms. There was something that went along with the idea of a reformed moderate.

"We will also do everything we can to help, so let's work together to abolish radical ideas"

Eliza, smiling, offers her hand, and Siebel takes that hand.

"It would be comforting if you could help the bronze family as well."

Leaning her bruised little neck for cuteness, she also throws her gaze at Shared...

"I'm sorry, but my bronze family won't move in my first place. All I can do is take care to keep weapons from flowing to the reform extremists... but I can't say I'm neutral if I overdo it"

With that said, he clasped his shoulders.

On this day, conservatives and moderates of reform joined hands to curb the stretch of reform extremists led by Gregor and clean up a series of chaos.
